Maintenance

Always use pads on furniture legs to avoid damaging your floor and leave high heels at the front door! Also use entrance mats to ensure dirt and grit isn’t tracked from outside onto your floor. Don’t drag furniture or use furniture with castor wheels as any resulting gouges in the floor will be permanent.

In terms of routine care, dry mopping or wiping the floor often, alongside regular vacuuming with a suction only vacuum will help to keep dirt and dust at bay – just make sure that you use the brush head attachment to avoid scratches. Never use a steam cleaner. The highly pressurised, hot steam will permanently damage the surface of your floor. Occasionally use a slightly damp mop, or a towel soaked in warm water and squeezed out, to get rid of any stray footprints or other small marks. You can use a special laminate floor cleaning product for this. 

A quick reaction can save your flooring and avoid permanent staining. The main thing to avoid is liquid seeping into the joints between planks, which will weaken or damage them – and this means immediate action is required. Act quickly and blot any liquid with paper towels. Once you have removed the liquid, soak a towel in warm water, wring excess water out and gently wipe the affected area to remove any residue. You may also use laminate floor cleaner to remove any stains.
